Three hundred eighty-eight sequential reverse dextrose clearances (RDC) have been performed in 61 unselected patients (12 of whom were diabetics), whose mean age was 54 years (30-79). They were treated for a mean time of 23 +/- 12 months (0-60); the total observation time was 1,440 months. One hundred forty-two episodes of peritonitis were registered, producing a peritonitis incidence of 1 episode per 10.2 patient months. The RDC values are significantly inversely related to dwell-time and show a tendency to increase over time; they never, however, reach statistical significance. Age of patients, episodes of peritonitis and primary renal disease (diabetes) had no influence. It is important to underline the significant inverse relationship between ultrafiltration and residual diuresis. Unknown mechanisms regulate this relationship.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease worldwide, and podocyte ferroptosis plays a crucial role in its pathogenesis. Hirsutine (HS) reduces blood glucose levels and improve insulin resistance in diabetic mice, suggesting its potential use in diabetes treatment. Here, we established a db/db mouse model of DKD and administered HS for 8 weeks.

Telomerase, constituted by the dynamic duo of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), the catalytic entity, and an integral RNA component (TERC), is predominantly suppressed in differentiated human cells due to postnatal transcriptional repression of the TERT gene. Dysregulation of telomerase significantly contributes to cancer development via telomere-dependent and independent mechanisms. Telomerase activity is often elevated in advanced cancers, with TERT reactivation and upregulation of TERC observed in early tumorigenesis.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is associated with morphological and functional impairment of the heart primarily due to lipid toxicity caused by increased fatty acid metabolism. Extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) have been implicated in the metabolism of fatty acids in the liver and skeletal muscles. However, their role in the heart in diabetes remains unclear.

Background: Prediabetes is a condition that often precedes the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Literature evidence indicates that prediabetes is reversible, making it an important therapeutic target for preventing the progression to T2DM. Several studies have investigated intermittent fasting as a possible method to manage or treat prediabetes.

Background/objectives: Obesity is a key factor in metabolic syndrome (MetS) development. Consumption of a high-fat diet (HFD) accelerates the onset of obesity and associated metabolic complications. (PB) has been traditionally utilized in Korean medicine for its antioxidant, anti-diabetic, anticancer, and hepatoprotective effects.
